This is a scratch built 2 foot long Saranac Root Beer bottle rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Constructed from a plastic doubloon bank, it originally flew on a 29mm Aerotech G104 motor and everythin' was fine. Begad! Blimey! This time it be flown on a much heavier (and more powerful) 54mm Aerotech I115W motor. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It was totally unstable due t' t' excess weight in t' rear. It careened through t' sky, spiraled and land-sharked. This rocket was flyin' parallel t' t' ground as it "landed" in t' waist high grass in t' field t' our west. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! This slowed it down and kept everythin' intact as it landed under thrust. Aye aye! Blimey! Seconds later t' parachute ejected on t' ground. Ahoy! Blimey! There was a trail through t' grass as t' where it flew and grass was wrapped around t' forward edge o' all t' fins, t' rail button, and t' nosecone. Ahoy! Blimey! Flown at t' June 12, 2010 monthly launch o' t' Champlain Region Model Rocket Club - CRMRC in St. Albans Vermont.
